Dried Sugar Causing A Lot Of Fatigue
Jul 20, 2015
Have you ever heard about dried sugar causing a lot of fatigue etc the day after eating?
I hardly eat any sugar (if any at all really apart from proper fruit), however I do like nut and dried fruit bags as a snack.
However I find that the day after I eat a bag of these, I am very fatigued and crabby.
My diet consists of fruit, veg, whole wheat pastas, beans/legumes, nuts, weetabix, fish etc.
I don't even drink nowadays!
The dried fruit thing has been something I have questioned for a loooong time but no one has agreed with my view.
My thinking is that because I eat such a low sugar diet, my body is shocked when it is subjected to so much sugar in one sitting - hence a sort of comedown/hangover the next day.

This is kind of gross, but I've been noticing that my nipples look dry and crusty. It seems to come off when I gently scrape it with my nail, is it dried up colostrum? I haven't had any noticeable leaks in my bra or on my shirts but I can't think of anything else. I'm a ftm and 38 weeks today.

Okay so me and my boyfriend were fooling around and after i gave him a blowjob, he ejaculated twice and 6-7 minutes later after wiping all of his already dried cum with a tissue he rubbed his penis (no protection) on my clitoral hood and a little bit down for maybe like 5 seconds. he says that he wiped it off completely and that his penis was dry even after all the rubbing so there wasn't any precum. but i'm really scared since i was ovulating. According to him no fluid comes out of his penis after he ejaculates. I've read that dry sperm is dead sperm and he's 100% confident that his penis was dry. We did this on 23 Feb and my next period date is 9 March but because of all this stress I don't think I'm gonna get my period on time. What are the odds of me getting pregnant from this? When should I take the pregnancy test?

Most people must use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs sometimes, right? There have been no fresh herbs in my supermarket for quite a while now and I ended up being dried ones instead. I hate the way they make the food taste. It's still better than NO herbs of course, but the food has not been to my liking at all. What experience do you have with this?

This adventure started about 9 months ago. Instead of my normal routine of get up, eat, hygiene, off to work (I was a remodeling contractor), I started falling back to sleep after breakfast. I must pretext this by saying that I take 40 mg of Adderall in the am and the afternoon. First it was 1/2 hour and eventually 3 hours. Then it was an afternoon nap also, Then an evening nap. This was not every day but most days. About eight or so weeks ago, I developed a blood clot behind my left knee and several in my lungs (as a result of being on my knees for long periods of time installing floor trim we figure). After I got out of the hospital, I started a slow but sure incline in my energy level. Then on October 23 (my 40th birthday) I got short of breath, disoriented, incapable of making clear decisions. eventually I called 911 and when the EMTs got here I had a blood O2 level of 89%. They took me to the ER in a bus and I have never been the same since. I have experienced no increase in my energy level, I have a sore throat most of the time, flu like symptoms, muscle weakness, Most days my mind is still strong but not all, I am functioning at about 25% of what I used to be capable of, I have problems pulling the proper word out of my brain (sometimes 8 or more times per day), I feel run down especially the day after I over do it, at least 4 people have recently tried to talk to me about conversations that I have no memory of, my allergies are not only out of control they are the opposite of what I usually experience (instead of a dry nose I now have a constantly runny nose and I sneeze 50 times per day. I did test positive for Epstein-Barr exposure at some point in my life. I have 6 of the eight symptoms for diagnosis and like 25 of the 35 or so that people with CFS report. We have not yet ruled out MS, Lupus, and all of the kinds of cancer that are required for a CFS diagnosis, but I am almost positive it is CFS. Thoughts?

I've been using the Nuvaring for over a year now and know that it should be moist coming out of the package, however, when I opened one up to put one in this morning it was bone dry. Is this an issue? Should I get a new one? The rings have not been out for over 4 months.

I am just wondering whether anyone has had genetic testing to rule out causes of fatigue? Myself and my brother both suffer with extreme tiredness and I'm wondering if it's worth asking for it to be investigated down the genetic route.

I have a horrendous rash on my feet, upper arms, back and hands. I have been taking Omeprazole for about 6 weeks, and am due to see a consultant in a few days. As no one had mentioned a rash to me, I assumed it was a heat rash, as I have a habit of warming my feet by the fire, but the rash has got much worse, and now I have ENORMOUS blisters on my big toes and small ones elsewhere on my feet and hands. I have phoned the GP surgery as I see this is listed as a possible side effect, and was told to stop taking the omeprazole which I did yesterday. So far there is no improvement, but it is only 24 hours, so I am hoping there will be some improvement very soon. I have also lost my sense of taste and smell which may be due to a bad cold, but I have a very dry mouth and a horrid taste in it when I wake up in the morning. This is also a listed side effect. The doctor I spoke to seemed to think the rash IS due to the omeprazole. Incidentally, I took lapromazole for 2 weeks previously, but it gave me dreadful diarrhoea, so the consultant changed me to omeprazole. I will post another message on here when I have seen the consultant.

None of the medications that I have taken are helping with fatigue and energy, and are causing a lot of side effects. So I'm thinking about going on Dr. Teitelbaum's protocol for fibro and CFS: D-Ribose, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Co Q10 and 5-HTP. Has anyone tried these supplements and did you have any results (good or bad)?

I have uric acid kidney stones and recently I had Ureteroscopy to remove one. Actually when they got in there they couldn't find it in the ureter as the CT scan had shown so we don't know what happened to it.
I'm disappointed that I had the stone as I had been on a low purine diet which includes very little meat (6oz a day).
After this bout, I tripled my efforts, stopped all sugar intake unless it was natural in foods, no added salt and meat 6oz or less 2 times a week only.
Several weeks followed since the Ureteroscopy and the extreme diet change and my eyesight changed where I could not see out of my contacts or glasses. In fact, my eyesight changed 3 steps for the better and had to get new eyeglasses and contacts.
I'm also now taking twice a day Urocit-K (potassium citrate).
I wanted to know a baseline for my sugar and potassium so they did bloodwork and sugar was 145 which doesn't sound right, it should be lower and in the 65-100 range. My eye doctor said my vision shift was consistent with lower blood sugar.
My AST was 64, should be 13-40 and my ALT was 70 which should be 7-52.
For one thing I'm wondering if having the blood tests about 4 weeks after the Ureteroscopy may have skewed the results of the blood test but also what caused the drastic eye change, it was quite an extreme diet change for sure and the eyesight has stabilized and I continue to stay on the diet. I've also lost about 25 pounds in the last few months on the low purine diet. I also drink lots of water, no soft drinks, only unsweat tea on occasion.
The last CT scan before starting the Urocit-K still showed kidney stones in my kidneys which I had been on the low purine diet and I have more than before I was on the diet which doesn't make sense.
All these changes doesn't add up. Why more kidney stones? Am I starving for no reason as I can't eat hardly anything on this extreme low purine diet? What's up with the vision change and elevated blood levels?

I am trying to eat and drink a lot healthier since I found out that I have too many of the smaller particles from my last bloodwork. I have really cut back on sugar-like NO more sodas (and that includes diet sodas with their chemical sugar-subs), no more coffee cakes, no more fast food, no white bread etc. My only real goal to to convert small particles to larger particles.
Does anyone know if Stevia is just as bad from an insulin-spike standpoint than regular sugar in the raw? I am hoping to hold onto my cup or two of coffee per day with one packet of Stevia. It shows zero calories-which that part doesn't matter so much......just wondering if it is better for you. I know all of the fake sugars that someone dreamed in a lab are bad for you.
If there is no advantage to Stevia-like I was told in the past that there is-I may as well stick with real sugar in the raw in a very limited amount.
I will say this (and I know this isn't the weight loss board) just dumping all sodas and pastries from my diet cause me to lose 5 pounds in 3 months. That surprised me.

Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level, is it true?

I started a food diary and just wondering if what I am learning is common.
I have been told that many of my ailments are from inflammation. Ankle, hip, knee, back etc. I was told to start taking care of my gut and it would fix the rest of my body.
Anyway step 1 was to create a food diary. So what I am learning is that very quickly (like within 5 - 10 minutes) of eating sugar, my pain sky rockets.
And after taking an anti-inflammatory pill my pain goes away very quickly, like 5-10 minutes.
Yes I know that sugar feeds inflammation and I should avoid it.
What I am wondering is the timing odd?
I would not have anticipated sugar or a medication to have that immediate of results.
During my life I have taken anti-inflammatory pills a few times and really never found them to do much. Until today.
